“We’re packed to the point that we're out of room,” said Animal Services director Mike Oswald, "and we need the community's help."

During “kitten season” from now through early autumn, the community shelter can get as many as 30 cats a day. As the region’s only open-door shelter that accepts all stray animals, the shelter is at about 100 percent of capacity as of Thursday, June 19--caring for 126 cats and kittens.

“Any cat lover can help by adopting,’’ Oswald said. “We have every kind of cat for any kind of home situation, and have staff here who can help you to make a great adoption match.”
